Emergency Help !! Win2k3 server crashed after sp2 update - BSD

All you need do is log onto the System Makers Web Site or the M'Board Makers Web Site to get the RAID Driver.

You would have had to copy it to the Root of whatever media you can use on this server anyway so other than a short amount of Web Time there is no damage done.

You need to work out how to proceed from here. If you think you can rebuild the Server Application quickly you can have a shot at it but if you are worried about the time required you may find that it's easier to just Install the Server Application again or restore from an Image whatever you have available. You'll also need the most recent Full Backup and your Last Incremental Backup to restore the Data to the System after the OS is working again.

As I don't know what you have available or what has happened here it is possible that the Partition Information on the RAID Drives has been deleted which means that the data is now gone. It may not be that bad but if you prepare for that type of thing you can only come out better off than what you are hoping for.

Also just how heavily used is this unit? If you have a Backup or other Server promote that to this ones position in the Domain to give you some breathing space while it gets fixed. If you don't have anything at all to push into temporary service lock the door and remove any Phone Plugs from the wall as you'll be harassed with phone calls demanding this to be returned to service 3 hours ago before the problem occurred.

Lets know how things go.
